The Economic Impact of the Constitution Pipeline June, 2013
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Constitution Pipeline is a proposed interstate natural gas transmission
pipeline that runs through five counties between New York and
Pennsylvania. The plan is to connect downstate New York City (NYC)
and New England (Boston area) markets with Marcellus Shale deposits of
natural gas from northern Pennsylvania. The Constitution Pipeline
Company, LLC (CPC) projects to spend about $683 million during the
initial three year planning and building process. Some of the investment
will be spent on specialized labor and materials brought in from outside
the region, leaving approximately $166 million (24%) of the investment to
directly benefit the five county region.
CPC plans to lay approximately 125 miles of 30” pipeline – roughly 80%
in New York and 20% in Pennsylvania – and create capacity to deliver up
to 650,000 dekatherms of natural gas to parts of downstate New York
State (NYS) and some areas in New England. The project will involve
building two meter stations – one in New York, and one in Pennsylvania.
Constitution has reached an agreement with Iroquois Gas Transmission for
Iroquois to modify its existing Wright compressor station to provide the
compression needed at the terminus of the pipeline.
The Center for Governmental Research (CGR) was engaged to calculate
the economic impact the project could have on the five county region.
CGR developed estimates of changes in employment and regional
earnings during the development and construction phase as well as the
operational phase that will commence post construction. The economic
impact during the construction phase could result in:
1,300 direct jobs in the construction industry and 275 spillover jobs;
$130 million of direct labor income, $26 million going to region
residents;
$12 million in spillover income, about $11m going to the region; and
$17 million in sales and income tax revenue from increases in income
(both direct and spillover) and project spending.
Once operational the pipeline’s economic impact could result in:
12 jobs in the region;
Over $600 thousand in labor income in the region; and
$13 million in sales, income and property tax revenue in the region.

INTRODUCTION
Climate change concerns and the risks of dependence on foreign oil have
driven a steady expansion in the use of natural gas. New extraction
technology, particularly the hydraulic fracturing technique pioneered in
the Barnett Shale, has accelerated this trend by dramatically increasing
supply. This rapid expansion of supply and associated reduction in cost
has spurred new demand for natural gas pipeline transmission. One new
opportunity, and the subject of this report, is a new pipeline being
developed in northern Pennsylvania (PA) that will create capacity to
transport natural gas into downstate NYS and some New England markets.
The Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC (CPC) is a joint venture of
Williams Partners Operating, LLC (NYSE: WPZ), an energy
infrastructure company, Cabot Pipeline Holdings, LLC (NYSE: COG), an
independent gas producer, Piedmont Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC
(NYSE: PNY), and Capital Energy Ventures Corp, subsidiary of WGL
Holdings (NYSE: WGL). With a 41% stake
1 in the project, Williams
expects to create the capacity to transport 650,000 dekatherms of natural
gas per day which is the equivalent of serving the energy needs of
approximately 3 million homes per day. Williams currently provides
natural gas transportation through 15,000 miles of interstate natural gas
pipelines, delivering about 14 percent of the natural gas consumed in the
US.2

Cabot is a natural gas producer, whose operations include Eagle Ford
Shale in South Texas, Marmaton in Oklahoma, and Marcellus Shale in
Pennsylvania.3 As of December 31, 2011, Cabot had 3,033 Bcfe (Billions
of cubic feet equivalents) in total reserves, and Marcellus alone produced
600 Mmcf per day that year.4 Piedmont is a distributor of natural gas to
residential, commercial and utility customers in the Carolinas and
Tennessee5. Capital Energy Ventures acquires, manages and optimizes
natural gas storage and transportation assets. The proposed project will
connect Cabot’s supply of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale to New
York and Boston area markets.

A subsidiary of Williams, the CPC will build its interstate pipeline
beginning in Susquehanna County, PA and ending in Schoharie County,
NY. In all, approximately 125 miles of 30” pipeline will connect natural
gas sources in Susquehanna County with the Iroquois Gas Transmission
and Tennessee Gas Pipeline systems in Schoharie County. The pipeline
will run through five counties including Chenango, Delaware and Broome
in New York State in addition to Schoharie and Susquehanna. The project
is expected to cost $683 million and take approximately three years to
complete. Almost a third of the investment ($233m or 32%) will be made

in NY and PA but only $166m (24%) will be invested directly in the five
county region. A map of the proposed route of the pipeline through each
of the five counties can be found in the appendix of this report.6 The
following table enumerates the estimated length of pipeline installation
and the location of the meter stations by county.

Building the pipeline will result in temporary jobs for the region during
the construction phase of the project. The ongoing operation of the
pipeline will result in additional permanent jobs. The purpose of this
report is to quantify the economic and fiscal impact of the Constitution
Pipeline in terms of temporary construction and full-time permanent jobs
for the five counties in the region.
Further details about the project and information on the project timeline
and progress can be accessed at the project website:

METHODOLOGY
The economic impact of the pipeline investment on the region will be
realized in two phases. The first phase consists of the preparation,
planning and construction of the pipeline and is scheduled to occur over a
three year time horizon. The physical construction of the pipeline is only
one component of the first phase and is expected to occur during an eight
month period. It is during this part of phase one that the highest number
of new jobs will be created. The second phase consists of the ongoing
operation of the pipeline after the three year development process is
complete.

CGR models economic impact by measuring the change in employment,
labor income and tax revenue that is generated from a change in the
economic activity of a region. Employment and income generated from
the construction phase of a project are reported separately due to the
temporary nature of the investment. The employment and income from
the operational phase represents a permanent change in the size of the
regional economy and is thus differentiated from the construction impact.
CPC provided the investment estimates and the operational employment
and income figures for the analysis.
Labor for the project will be drawn from both inside and outside the
region. For instance, skilled craftsmen may be brought into the region for
certain parts of the project while local laborers will be used for other parts.
Additionally, some materials and other professional support will be
purchased from outside the region. Using labor and professional support
from outside the region is the primary reason that not all the money
invested in the project will benefit the five counties.
The economic benefits of the Constitution Pipeline were determined using
the MIG Group’s IMPLAN input-output model. The IMPLAN database
consists of two major parts: 1) a national-level technology matrix and 2)
estimates of sectorial activity for final demand, final payments, industry
output and employment for each county in the U.S. along with state and
national totals. Data are updated annually. IMPLAN estimates the direct,
indirect and induced impacts of economic change through the use of
multipliers, and estimates the impact of a change in demand on 440
different industries/sectors of the economy. IMPLAN’s algorithms allow
CGR to construct a unified, multi-county model of the impact region.
ECONOMIC & FISCAL IMPACTS
CPC’s construction of the pipeline will generate a substantial but
temporary boost to employment in the region leading to a smaller but
more permanent impact once the pipeline is operational through ongoing
monitoring and maintenance.
Construction Phase
Direct Economic Impact
During the construction phase, CPC estimates the workforce will be
comprised of five teams of 260 workers totaling up to 1,300 new
construction jobs. In-state trade unions are expected to provide
approximately 50 percent of the construction workforce. However, due to
the specialized nature of pipeline construction, local trade unions may
need to hire personnel from outside of the project area. At this time, it is
5
anticipated that approximately 25 percent of the construction workforce
will be hired locally (i.e., within the 5-county project area).

When estimating the impact of spending for labor, we assume that wages
are paid to laborers at their place of work, but all of it is spent at their
place of residence. As an example, if a worker from Binghamton is
working on the project, Broome County and hence the region benefits
from the investment in payroll. However, if the worker lives in Albany or
Syracuse or Cleveland, then the economic benefit “leaks” from the region.

Grand Total 1,300 326 974
Using the latest Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) data we
assume that 81% to 98% of the workers from inside the region reside in
the county where they will work. We assume they would not need to
relocate and would not need to commute to another county. The following
table summarizes the number of workers based on potential relocation
needs.

Assuming that the regional construction industry is operating at full
capacity7, this temporary boost of construction workers would be expected
to have a small impact on the region’s unemployment rate8.

Direct Fiscal Impact
CPC estimates the project will result in purchases of goods and services
within New York and Pennsylvania totaling $233M. $166M of the
7 CGR reviewed the BLS statistics and determined a national average of approximately
14% unemployment in the construction industry. However, we chose to model the
impact at full capacity to showcase maximum potential impact. We acknowledge that
estimates of full employment are rare and unlikely, even in communities experiencing
significant growth. However, it is also unusual to model these types of changes at such a
granular level. The real impact on the unemployment rate is likely to be less. 8 The unemployment rate would be unchanged by workers coming from outside the
region using the strict definition and methodology to calculate the rate. Unemployment is
officially measured by counting those within a region who are employed or seeking
employment. An influx of temporary workers from outside the region will boost
economic activity in the region, but will not “officially” lower the unemployment rate as
they would not be considered “residents of the region” and would not be officially
included in the count.

purchases will be within the five county region. Some of these purchases
will be on goods subject to sales tax. This spending is estimated to
generate $3.3M in sales tax revenues in total. Construction materials, a
portion of the sales taxable items, will add approximately $3.2M of sales
tax revenue.

Note: Subtotals may not sum due to rounding
The 1,300 jobs generated during the construction phase will generate an
estimated $130M of labor income, resulting in $11.3M of income tax
revenues, and $1.2M of sales tax revenue. Of the $130M, $26M of labor
income will benefit residents of the five county region.

Grand Total 1,300 $129.8 $11.3 $1.2
Spillover Effects
The spending during the construction phase will also spur additional
economic activity in both the state and the region. 275 spillover jobs will
be supported by the spending activity. It will generate a total of $12.1M in
labor income and $1.5M in income and sales tax revenue.

Grand Total 275 $12.1 $1.2 $0.3
Operational Phase It is estimated that once operational the Constitution Pipeline will employ
seven people. These jobs will result in about $500 thousand of new labor
income for the states generating a potential for $68 thousand of income tax
revenue and $11 thousand of sales tax revenue annually.

The addition of these 7 jobs and their spending will spur job creation in
supporting industries. It is estimated that five new jobs will emerge as
part of the spillover impact.

SUMMARY
The economic impact of the proposed Constitution Pipeline has been
modeled in this report. During this three year project approximately 125
miles of pipeline will be installed in New York and Pennsylvania. In
addition to the pipeline, two meter stations – one in New York and one in
Pennsylvania - will be built. Based on the proposed project expenditures
forecast by CPC the economic impact for the region during the
construction phase can be summarized as:
1,300 direct jobs in the construction industry and 275 spillover jobs;
$130 million of direct labor income, $26 million going to region
residents;
$12 million in spillover income, about $11m going to the region; and
$ 17million in sales and income tax revenue from increases in income
(both direct and spillover) and project spending.
Once operational the pipeline’s economic impact will include a total of:
12 jobs in the region;
Over $600 thousand in labor income in the region; and
$13 million in sales, income and property tax revenue in the region.

Estimated Impact on the Region’s Unemployment Rate
To estimate the impact of the Constitution Pipeline on the unemployment
rates we begin with unemployment data published by the BLS.
Number Unemployed
(2012) Labor Force
Unemployment Rate
Susquehanna, PA 1,754 23,259 7.5%
Broome, NY 8,179 92,438 8.8%

Table 4 in the report gave the number of workers not needing to relocate
because they live in the county where the work is expected to be
performed. The table estimates the additional construction worker jobs by
county. We assume the construction industry is working at full capacity;
therefore all 307 jobs will be filled by unemployed workers9.

Breakout of Spillover Employment by Industry
Spending on goods and services to construct the Constitution Pipeline will
spur job creation in other industries. The following is an estimate of the
breakout of the 275 additional jobs by industry group.
12
Economic and Fiscal Impact – By County The following tables give county level estimates of the economic impact
of the Constitution Pipeline.
NOTE: The allocation of employment, income and tax revenue across
individual counties is impossible to estimate with precision because
differences in labor supply, the location of subcontractors, housing
differences, consumer preferences and the nature of retail markets will all
influence the locus of the economic effect. These should be considered
“best-guess” estimates only.
